If you look closer, you will realize that all this is, is the biggest gang in the land moving in on the drug dealer's turf.  If it were really about freedom, they'd let anyone sell it.  

I applaud the legalisation. There are a lot of harmful and very dangerous drugs out there, but marijuana is not amongst them. In Holland we have a toleration policy, meaning one can legally acquire and utilize weed for recreational purpose. However -and I can't stress this enough- we have little to no problems with useres of it.

Myself I use it from time to time, and well, it's not at all worse than drinking a couple of beers, only thing is, it's a lot cheaper. And it doesn't really get stacked on top of the beer, considering how it will often cause you to 'pump out' all your beer when used afterwards. And when used first it will just create a really relaxed atmosphere. I also am pretty sure it's not a lot more harmful to you than smoking on its own, and I am definitely sure it is less harmful then alcohol.

The problem comes however with the growing of weed. It is illegal to grow it for commercial use, so theoraticly that means noone could ever aquire it from shops. This leads to legal shops having to import stuff illegally... But as said, the gouvernment tolerates it -even though strictly it's illegal-.This makes it so that ALL shops have to import it from dark sources (terrorists, gangs, etc.), which is ridiculous. Now that there are new regulations towards 'drug tourisme' criminal dealers make waaay more profit since they can sell to foreigners who would first legally acquire it through shops...

 It would be a boon if there were more countries that allow people to grow and sell weed. This will lead to the government (besides profitting from it)  also beeing able to take the business out of the hands from criminals almost completely. It really works people, and believe me, it makes the world safer rather than more dangerous.

I rest my case :P

Speaking of Mary Jane... funny how we all have been lied to throughout the years as pot being the "Gateway Drug" - Wrong! In my opinion the true gateway drug is nicotine (cigarettes)... do any others out there possibly see this as factual?
